Verdi’s Don Carlo on PBS

Who needs public broadcasting? You know those kids in rural Colorado who’ve never been to an opera? Who can’t afford satellite radio and who don’t get to great museums or lecture halls? They depend on their local public TV outlet to open them to a world of culture. “Great Performances at the Met” presents a celebrated new production of Verdi’s Don Carlo Sunday, April 3 at 1 p.m. on Rocky Mountain PBS.
